England had a strong start with their opening partnership, but their performance declined afterwards. The current title holders only managed to score 156 runs before Sri Lanka easily secured victory by chasing down the low total with eight wickets remaining.

England’s recent embarrassing loss requires them to win all upcoming matches in order to have a shot at reaching the semi-finals. Their next opponent is India, who has yet to be defeated as the host team.
